Birthday Bird


 I made one of these book binding cards last year and decided I'd make another one because they're fun to make. I used pieces of SU! Coastal Cabana cardstock and matching dsp for this one, stenciling the blue skies with some Tumbled Glass ink. The bird and branch were done with a SU! punch and I added a tiny black gemstone for the eye. The ribbon was a generous gift from a thoughtful friend and I just love how it blends with this color scheme. The sentiment is a pre-printed one from Simon Says Stamp matted with some black cardstock to match all the black-matted panels.

I'll share this with the Allsorts Challenge #779 - More than One Fold or A/G

Birds, Blooms, and/or Butterflies. Use 1,2, or all 3

Wishing you all a great day whatever you're doing. Thanks for the visit as always and keep smiling :)

Carol

I have never made a bookbinding card, love so much the folding, it's also easy and quick to do, so I will try to make one! Thanks for the inspiration! Your card is a delight, so cheerful and sweet! Love the cute punched bird on the branch and your light stencilled sky! Lovely polka dots paper, and such beautiful ribbon! :D :D
Sorry I'm late, my life is just as a rollercoaster.
Sending big hugs and love dear friend! Have a wonderful week!

Your little teal birdie is so sweet and I adore that sentiment too! That looks like some fancy ribbon and the book binding card is a perfect spot to highlight it too! They are really fun to make and I love your design!

So very cute, Carol! I love the book binding cards and especially in this color! Beautiful sponged clouds and that bird punch is definitely an oldie but a goodie! Love this! :)

Your book binding card is simply charming! The Coastal Cabana hues paired with the delicate stenciled skies evoke a serene atmosphere, while the intricate details like the bird punch and ribbon accentuate its elegance.
